Yep, dying from those seemingly 3 shots is 100% due to lag, some people would think it's due to cheating. Your opponent is playing closer to real time than you are and he'll out play you any day because of it. I'm just not sure if that lag is due to servers or some network thing. If it's on the server side shouldn't everyone have the same issue? If it's a network ping / distance issue why do I experience lower lag sometimes with higher ping? Confused at this point.
I see every day people who have either crap internet or higher pings just lag for that advantage, Ever notice how a lot big streamers who are actually on the NA region of the world and yet go play japan servers? There is a reason people do this.

I've heard about this, Zeus mentioned that he practiced on high ping. I can see it being beneficial to perhaps force you to react quicker as the game gets harder the further away from real time you play. So going back to low ping servers with your new found reflexes should take your gameplay to a whole new level. Makes sense.
But what I don't get is why someone would choose to play on a ping so high that they start teleporting.
I usually feel / see myself when I'm skipping and I'm having just as much of a problem playing as my opponents do. I used to play with a friend in UK and she not once saw me teleport or skip at a ping of 200.
The whole lag thing is melting my brain and there seems to be many reasons for it aside from just bad servers. All I know is that it's really bad on Apex especially and I would like to have it gone but I know that's not gonna happen :D
- hayhor5 years agoHero@Sand_spitter High ping doesnt give an advantage. I play EU servers a lot and can tell you this is what I see 20 ping vs 130 ping-
High ping takes longer to open things, pickup loot, etc.
High ping also means enemies see you first. So they many times will start shooting you before you realize they are there.
The one advantage high ping sees is you are shooting at someone after that person thinks they have taken cover so one or two bullets strike them.- 5 years ago
For sure man, agree 100%.
What I meant was that high ping gives you a disadvantage to a low ping player bc like you said they see you 1st. Zeus played like that deliberately (200+) so he would be forced to be better so when switching back to his low ping servers the game would feel a lot easier for him.
- hayhor5 years agoHero@Sand_spitter Oh and teleporting isnt really ping for me. That is packet loss. I've had speed up crap on 20 ping and 130 ping equally.
